Shionogi Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners. BECKHARDT, LYNDSEY MARIE is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending action.
The prosecution activity is distributed across 2 distinct art units. With pending office actions and distinct examiners, each matter is being reviewed by a different person. The 2 distinct art units suggest some technical overlap within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area, but practitioners will still need to adapt their strategies to the individual styles of the examiners involved. Because the busiest examiner, BECKHARDT, LYNDSEY MARIE, only handles 1 pending action, the workload is distributed across the examiner pool. This lack of examiner concentration across the art units means that prosecution success will depend on individualized examiner engagement rather than a single unified relationship.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
